Master,Rosario,

Where is correct place(point) with the ball on the racket at the topspin ?

Exactly in  the center on the racket ? Or slightly up - from imaginary line betweеn the handle and top of the racket?

Hi Il,

I think it is better to hit the ball more at the top of the racket.  At first aim for the centre of the racket but as you get more advanced then think about getting the contact higher.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.

Thank you, Master Roasiro ,...but I understand ....

The top of the racket -  in the central line or the top of the racket - slightly to top edge?

It is closer to the leading edge of the racket whichever way the racket is going.
